Jeopardy! fans have a lot of complaints about the recent Masters tournament. Much of the complaints are about Yogesh Raut, who has come across as arrogant to many fans with his style of gameplay. Now, Yogesh has done something that might prove fans’ opinions of him are correct.
Here is what Yogesh said to Ken Jennings, and how the Jeopardy! host got back at him for it.
Yogesh Corrects Ken Jennings On Camera
Yogesh was competing in Jeopardy! The Masters when he stopped host Ken Jennings and corrected his pronunciation of a word. The word was “Everest.”
The clue was: “In 1823, this eponymous man was elevated to superintendent of the survey of India.” When Yogesh answered “Everest,” he pronounced it as “Ee-ver-est.” Ken said that Yogesh was right and pronounced it as “Ever-est.” Yogesh immediately fired back, “He pronounced it Ee-ver-est.”

Jason Statham is heading to Scotland for an untitled action thriller from director Baltasar Kormakur. More on the project here.
Jason Statham’s already scored a delightfully fun hit movie this year with The Beekeeper, which has turned in a good profit after its cinema run back in January. He made that with director David Ayer, and the pair are now working on a new film, Levon’s Trade, based on a script written by Sylvester Stallone. It’s currently set for release at the start of 2025.
By the time that particular film arrives with us though, Jason Statham will be on a remote Scottish island, filming his next movie after that. It’s a film without a title at the moment, but we know that it’s going to be directed by Baltasar Kormakur, who previously brought Everest to the big screen.

Jason Statham is someone who is admirably unpretentious and genuinely grateful for his success, and within that, he has a definite preference of films that can predominantly define his career. Earlier this year, Statham was seen in The Beekeeper, a seemingly usual action B-movie fare with the star, but the movie from Suicide Squad director David Ayer would throw in some bold conceptual curve balls to the normal vengeance tale. Deadline has now reported that Statham will be working with director Baltasar Kormákur for his next action film.
Kormákur’s resume features such credits as Contraband, 2 Guns, Everest and the recent Idris Elba lion attack film, Beast. According to Deadline, “In the currently untitled pic, Statham will play Mason who lives in isolation in a remote Scottish island.

David Breashears, whose mountaineering led him to climb Mt. Everest five times, died at his Massachusetts home on Thursday. He was 68 and no cause has been determined.
Breashears co-directed and co-produced a 1998 Imax documentary for Universal, Everest, about climbing the fabled mountain. Footage from that expedition to the peak made him a celebrity in the outdoors world.
“He combined his passion for climbing and photography to become one of the world’s most admired adventure filmmakers,” his family said in a written statement.
In 2007, Breashears founded GlacierWorks, which describes itself on Facebook as a nonprofit organization that “highlights changes to Himalayan glaciers through art, science, and adventure.”
“With GlacierWorks, he used his climbing and photography experience to create unique records revealing the dramatic effects of climate change on the historic mountain range,” his family said.
In 1983, Breashears transmitted the first live television pictures from the summit of Everest, according to his website.

Long gone are the days of Mark Wahlberg movies with an edge. The proudly Catholic family man, who once asked God for forgiveness for playing the scantly clad, dream-or-die porn star Dirk Diggler in Paul Thomas Anderson’s “Boogie Nights,” now makes films that either hover around religious agitprop (“Father Stu”), are blandly comforting studio comedies (“Me Time”), or action adventure spectacles with no soul (“Uncharted”). In short, he’s making movies meant to inspire rather than challenge audiences these days.
“Arthur the King” certainly won’t inspire legions of new Wahlberg fans, though here is a movie that props him up as a grade-a hero onscreen. Directed by Simon Cellan Jones, this feel-good globe-trotting odyssey shares thematic overlap with all three types of movies as Wahlberg takes on the real-life role of Swedish adventure racer Mikael Lindnord (here renamed Michael Light and recast as American) who, 10 years ago while...

The line between art and activism is blurred — often to a fault — in The Strangers’ Case, a visceral migrant drama that plays less as a movie with a message than as a message with a movie.
Written and directed by Brandt Andersen, an executive producer (American Made, Everest), former NBA G League franchise owner and international activist, the film follows several characters whose lives are upended by the Syrian Civil War, switching points of view as it moves from the grim battlegrounds of Aleppo to the gates of Europe.
It can be an intense experience to sit through, and Andersen doesn’t hold back on the gruesome violence and nonstop tragedy many migrants suffered during the conflict — and continue to suffer to this day. But that doesn’t always make for great drama, nor for characters who go deep enough, resulting in a well-meaning film that feels half like a globetrotting Hollywood thriller,...

Exclusive: The Crown‘s success has helped bestow gifts upon the employees of Left Bank Pictures.
As the curtain fell on the Netflix series, staffers at the British production company pocketed bonuses totaling more than £10M ($13M) in March last year.
The payday was disclosed in a UK Companies House filing by Sony Pictures Television, which loaned Left Bank £10.1M to fund the financial incentive.
Sony and Left Bank declined to comment on the reasons for the bonus and whether it was out of the ordinary, but it coincided with filming wrapping on The Crown’s final season last April.
Left Bank’s website shows the company has 36 members of staff, meaning the bonuses would have averaged out at more than £280,000 per employee.
In an interview with Deadline last year, Left Bank CEO Andy Harries reflected on the achievements of The Crown, describing it as the “Everest” of British television.

Exclusive: A persuasive argument can be made for The Crown being the jewel in British television’s very own crown, but it was so very nearly an uncut gem. A decade ago, this 60-hour showpiece was perilously close to being an idea filed under: nearly, but not quite. A passion project that lives in the great pantheon of unmade pitches.
The difference maker is not Peter Morgan and his sweeping vision to tell more than 70 years of British history through the eyes of a single woman. It is not the beguiling array of talent swooned by Morgan’s prose. Nor is it the deep pockets of a former DVD rental company that looks to have emerged victorious in the streaming wars.
The difference maker is Andy Harries. Like all great producers, Harries is the consummate salesman. His story of how he shopped The Crown is now woven into British television folklore.

Exclusive: Netflix has acquired worldwide rights to the documentary Mountain Queen: The Summits of Lhakpa Sherpa out of the Toronto Film Festival, Deadline can exclusively reveal.
The deal is the second in quick succession for the streamer, which less than 12 hours ago snapped up Anna Kendrick’s directorial debut, Woman of The Hour, for $11 million. No details as to the financial terms were disclosed.
Pic’s subject, Lhakpa Sherpa, was the first Nepali woman to completely summit and survive Mount Everest. For anyone else, that might be the greatest challenge and achievement of their life. But for the unforgettable Lhakpa — now a single mother of three, based in Connecticut — it was just the start.
Hailing from Sk Global Entertainment, Obb Pictures, and Avocados and Coconuts, the doc was directed by Lucy Walker, the 2x Oscar nominee previously at TIFF with another tale of a female Everest climber in 2006’s Cinema Eye Honors Award-nominated Blindsight.
